Terror of the Master (audio story): Difference between revisions

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
(Edited original reference citation link to one without the social medium addendum in the link, i.e, the Big Finish News article announcing the story's re-release; it was also incorrectly being used for the release date. Separated detail about its release to a second clause with its own correct reference citation link to Big Finish News page about release date. Used first one for detail about announcement of re-release. Added reference citation link to Recording Date.)
